FortiClient 7.4.x on Debian
Hello everyone,
While upgrading FortiClients on Debian-based machines, I encountered a problem that I would like to share with you here to find possible solutions or workarounds.
In the official Fortinet documentation for FortiClient version 7.4 for Linux-based systems (https://docs.fortinet.com/document/forticlient/7.4.2/linux-release-notes/213138/install-forticlient-linux-from-repo-fortinet-com), the following command is given to add the GPG key for installation on Debian-based systems:
wget -O - https://repo.fortinet.com/repo/forticlient/7.4/debian/DEB-GPG-KEY | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/repo.fortinet.com.gpg
When execute the following error is shown:
Connection established to repo.fortinet.com (repo.fortinet.com)|208.91.114.61|:443 ... connected.
HTTP request sent, waiting for response ... 404 Not Found
On Fortinet's official download page for version 7.4 (https://www.fortinet.com/support/product-downloads/linux ), Debian-based distributions are not shown. There is no clear information or available files for Debian in this version.
Questions that arise:
Has support for Debian-based systems actually been dropped in version 7.4, although it is mentioned in the documentation?
Is the documentation possibly incorrect or outdated?
Are there alternative ways to update to FortiClient 7.4 on Debian-based machines, or do we have to stay at older versions?
